Wheels?
« on: February 05, 2015, 06:33:28 pm »
Guys, can anyone tell me the difference between these two sets of wheels? I can see that one has polished centres but apart from that? Also, can anyone point me in the right direction for buying ie personal experiences, price etc. Cheers

I'd use www.rimstyle.com as I've heard good things about them. I can see little to no difference between those rims.

don't know if the specs are the same or not

but the bottom one is the original 3sdm and the top one is a replica of it

my brother has used http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/index.php/new-inch-c-51_52_114_177_317 a few times and highly recommends them, plus they have both sets of wheels you have posted here and some more of a similar design  :happy2:

3SDM's are really heavy. Get a light weight wheel as you'll benefit from it. If you got a local wheel dealer near by. Might be worth paying a visit and ask to feel the weight of the alloy. I do believe knock off versions are lighter but you do hear nasty stories or them breaking...I wish I could help more.
